I have melasma on my upper lip and can't seem to exfoiliate it away or get rid of it, tried IPL it helped but didn't complete, also my face doesn't go in the sun. Only fake tan if I need colour and even that shows up the "moustache" really bringing me down dealing with this, ANY treatment with proven results please advise. I'm devastated by this, it's so ugly and unfeminine... thank you so much

Answer: Treating melasma One of my favorite treatment options for melasma is Cosmelan. It is a treatment regimen that uses Hydroquinone and Retin A to target this stubborn pigment. An in office evaluation is best to create a patient specific treatment regimen for your particular melasma.Best of luck

Answer: Melasma treatment for upper lip I recommend that you apply the appropriate creams to the entire face. Cysteamine is a strong agent and may cause hypopigmentation especially in daark skin. Melasma treatments are lifelong and should be tailored for each patient. Melarase is a great regimen to add or a Brightening Kit in its entirety. I also recommend that you add one of two of these oral supplements for pigmentary control: Scler-X PIH Relief Complex from VenaSmart or Pigmentation Correction Complex from KareSkin. You will need wide spectrum UV protection with SPF 30+ sunblock as well. H Karamanoukian MD FACS
